Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I need to know the context of this image.
Farthest back example I could find is this. Apparently it's from a textbook?
I found this sociology textbook that has unquoted similar text. https://online.flipbuilder.com/jeru/zjef/index.html#p=60
I think one book plagiarized the other.
Or it could be a different edition. Is the image supposed to convey that kids use slang? And is that supposed to be some sort of revelation?
More reasonable and more likely explanation. I wonder if they got rid of the image or added it in a new edition.
